Why does this camera LocalScript only work in studio and not online? It's in a gui

I've tried to change this script countless times to make it work online, but it doesn't, I don't understand why it doesn't work because it's in a local script. BTW, there's nothing wrong with the box part, it's the camera part that isn't working -- works fine in studio though

view source
01local Button = script.Parent
02local Box = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.ActualHats.Frame.PirateHatz
03local cam = game.workspace.CurrentCamera
04function OnButtonClick()
05    Box.Visible = true
06    cam.CameraSubject= game.workspace.StoreWall
07    cam.CameraType = "Attach"
08    end
09 
10script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(OnButtonClick)

The cam might not exist yet when the variable is being made. Try using 'local cam = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("CurrentCamera")' saenae 318 — 7y

CurrentCamera should already exist on the client. Try adding a WaitForChild for one of your items in the box variable instead. Spongocardo 1991 — 7y

Lot's of people have the same problem, there scripts works in Studio but no game. Why? Because the assets haven't been loaded yet. So that means when you say something like local part = game.Workspace.Part chances are "Part" hasn't loaded and part would be basically nothing. A few ways to fix this is by adding :WaitForChild() To variables or wait() from the beginning of the script which is not cool.

I will help you edit your code that includes :WaitForChild() and also some edit to make it a better script it self;

view source
01local B = script.Parent -- B stands for Button
02local Box = local Box = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild('ActualHats').Frame.PirateHatz -- the reason I used WaitForChild on actual hats because actual hats is the parent and so if parent is loaded child is loaded as well
03local cam = game.Workspace:WaitForChild('CurrentCamera') --Cap W and added WaitForChild
04local SW = game.Workspace:WaitForChild('StoreWall') -- new variable
05 
06B.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function() --Don't use connect use Connect and u don't need to call a function
07    Box.Visible = true
08    cam.CameraSubject= SW
09    cam.CameraType = "Attach"
10end)

This SHOULD work but if it doesn't comment down below and tell me if theres a error if it worked or you somehowly figured out how to make it work then please accept answer ;)

Have Fun and Good Luck Developing!
